AnalysisWhen Soundpainting with Palettes I often modify the Palette as it is being performed, sometimes without ever performing the Palette it in its entirety.I composed two short Palettes.As you will hear and see, the Palettes are used many different ways.The gestures listed above in Section 9 are some of the ones I most often use when working with Palettes.

Performance 1 – 40:36

Performance 2 – 48:12
